TWEED'S ORGANS VILIFIED
O'CONOR.

O'CONOR.
The Collector and his Deputy
print an editorial on Rogers letter,
which deserves word of comment.
l. Rogers letter proves that his
testimony WAS correctly reported,
except the agreement by Camden
and McGraw to pay $1,000 and a
pass if he would get the original.
These words might concern Mr..
Camden, but are immaterial as re-
CARDS McGraw. The question is
did Roger testify that Mcgraw gave
him a check and put $40 in his peck
ct for stealing letter from Minear's
house? Let McGraw point out
wherein Rogers testimony is not
correctly reported. Loose asser-
tons, vague statements, violent Ian
guage, will not answer frozen facts"
If Rogers testimony has been 'falsi-
fed. lit is easy to single out the part
which differs from correct report of
his evidence.
,. Again. This editorial says
Rogers letter convicts the DEMO
GRAFT of lying" Empty denunci.
alton does not answer "frozen facts
What have we printed, that was
not true? We copied what appear
ed inDawson's paper; McGraw re-
piled, REGER TESTIFIED TO NO
SUCH STUFF; we produced the
Register and hteUigeacer; McGraw
offers Rogers letter, which refers us
to his Parkersburg Interview rs plac-
ING him correctly before the public;
this Interview presents the same tes-
timony that we copied from Daw-
sons paper. The simple truth is
the Internal Revenue Collector is
placed in avery unenviable position,
and he cannot eXtricate himself by
empty denunciation. We made no
statement whatever except that we
copied Rogers testimony as it APP
peared in DawsOn's paper. Violent
and indecent language will not eX
tricate McGraw from his situation.
He is confronted with record and
the indecent utilization of a gentle
man will not prevent the popular
verdict.
Tweed, of New York, held high of
fetal position and had unlimited
command of money; his newspapers
raised a clamor against Charles o.
Conor and represented him as the
embodiment of falsehood and corrup-
ton. Against this newspaper clam
or Mr.. O'Conor opposed the shield
of a spot,ess life. The thieves in
New York were all against him and
were all in favor Of Tweed. This
clamor for time misled many good
citizens who did not stop to notice
that no one specified any particular
act by Mr.. O'Conor that was rep
rehensible. Presently men said, that
Tweed's detectives would certainly
hunt up and publish the exact facts
if there was single black spot on
O'Conor's record. When people in
quired about Mr. O'Conor, of those
who had the honor of being intimate
ly acquainted with him, they found
that his private character was i'm
maculate. He was not comprehend
ed by knaves or by fools, but every
honest man of brains, who knew him
well, was loud in his praise. The |
contrast between O'Conor as paint
ed by the newspapers and O'Conor
as he was, was as great as that be-

ROGERS INTERVIEW WITH THE
PARKERSBURG JOURNAL.
COPIED from Dawson's paper.)
"Reger Comes Back at McGraw.'
From Parkersburg Journal.

From Parkersburg Journal.
Our reporter found Mr.. Roger at
HilPs, and ut once brought up the
matter of his testimony before the
Investigating Committee; he being
reported as testifying to having sto-
len the Schofield letter from Minear's
house and sold it to McGraw and
Camden for money consideration
and pass. The publication Of this
testimony, garbled and distorted, as
Mr.. Roger claims, brought from In
ternal Revenue Collector McGraw
the following card:
The reported testimony of one Roger,
as contained in the NeWs- Letter, in so
far as it applies 10 me, is completely
false. JNo. Il. MCGRAw.
When Rogers eye fell on that
card, his wrath rose, and he started
for Grafton, where he has been talk
ing with McGraw and finds the dis

The witness Roger was asked:

The witness Roger was asked:
When and where did you first see the
Schofeld letter?
Answer.-Last December at Minear's
house. / copied it after he went to bed
and took the copy to McGraw at Graf
Camden at Washington and they agreed
to pay me 81 900 and give me an annual
pass on the Il. IL o. if | would get them
the original | went back to Minear's
house and stole the letter.
Questionable you tell Camden you
had stolen it?
Al told him obtained it after Min
ear had gone TO bed.
Q.-What became of the letter?
Al wrote Mr.. Camden to return it
TO Minear's wife by mail.
Odd Camden or McGraw give you
thousand dollars or pass?
A.-They did not.
GLOW much did they pay you?
A.-McGraw gave me a check for $50
and afterwards put $50 in my vest peck
ct while was in an epileptic ilt in Mr..
Cainden's room.
The part in brackets in the pre-
ceding paragraph Mr. Roger says
he did not testify to. But he says
that this was what McGraw was de-
nying in his card, and that all Nc
Graw meant to deny was that part
of the testimony which is in brack-
cts. In other words, Roger says
that McGraw will not deny that he
received the Schofield litter from
him, that he knew how it was OBJ
tanned, and that he paid him Re
ger) for the same, and that they
asked him to get it.
Mr.. Roger asked McGraw to sign
statement to the effect of the
above, but he refused to do so unless
Camden approved Of it. Mr.. Roger
then wanted him to give statement
of all the facts, but he refused. So
Mr.. Roger said that when he gets
back to Charleston and sees Camden
if McGraw does not modify the
statement in his card that Roger
will publish all the kilograms, let
tiers, ETC., he has received from Nc:
Graw and Camden. Roger says he
won't rest under the charge of lie
for McGraw or Camden either. He
was much annoyed at being called
as witness, and only told under
oath what he was obliged to. He
claims he will abide by the short
hand report of his testimony, but
that the garbled report of his testi
mony sent out by correspondents are
as a rule false.
NoTE.-Reger did return to Char
lesion and put in evidence letter
and telegram from McGraw, and
also stated that he had letter from
Camden about it. This latter letter
he showed to the writer, but did hot
produce it before the committee.
There is no doubt, however, that lac
had it.

ONE LIVED, THE OTHER Died

A woman formerly our slave il now our
cook. About eighteen months ago she be-
came sickly and had cough and was con-
fined to bed, aud IL was thought that she
had consumption. The treatment by physi-
clans failed to give relief. In December,
1884, IA node or knot the size OF goose egg
formed just above the pit of the stomach,
which when lanced discharged matter for $
or months. One of these also formed
under her arm and three ON her back, which
discharged matter for considerable Time.
For six months OF tins time she was con
fined to tho house and most OF the time in
bed The stomash often refused food, by
rejecting what she had eaten. She used u
great deal of medicine, but ihlled To be cur
ed. 1 bought one bottle OF your Is. Ii. b..
made at Atlanta Ga,. and gave II TO her,
and she commenced TO improve. l then
bought and gave her three bottles more and
she continued to improve, and In two
mouths time Der cough had ceased, her
constitution strengthened, appetite and
digestion good, all discharges ceased, nodes
or knots disappeared and she went to
work apparently healthy and lattened up
greatly.
This woman had u mar ed sister OF near
same age who was affected in precisely the
same way and about the same time. She
had node or knot on pit of stomach, etc.
She did not take any IS. b. b. and the node
on her stomach ate through to the cavity:
She continued on the decline and wasted
away and finally died.
These were two terrible cases of blood
poison-one used b. b. b. and was speed
lily cured-the other did not use it and died.

The progress of the Farmers ALI
ance in practical beneficial business
institutions is wonderful, and an en-.
couraging sign of the times. The
prosperity of the South is based upon
the success Of the agricultural inter-
e,ts. hence whatever tends to improve
the condition and surroundings of the
farmer is bound to be of substantial
advantage to the entire people. The
cooperative enterprises are being
made to save the farmer money, and
their success in that direction has en-
couragcd them to undertake other
aud greater industrial and manulac-
turing enterprises which are sure to
succeed. The most successful manu-
featuring enterprises Of Scotland are
those founded aud conduct ID on this
cooperative plan; and the HERALD
hopes that the spirit of cooperation
and manufacturing may be caught up
by the Knights of Labor. They have n
strong and perfect organization and
could successfully establish pnd oper-
ate Il large boot aud shoe factory, n
barrel factory, soap factory, wagon
factory, and even cotton aud wooden
factory if the proper beginning is
made aud the men put ut the head OF
the enterprise who will command con-
fiden 9 aud INSPIRE work and support
from every Knight. The HERALD
would suggest that the subject be dis
cussed iu their councils; and anything
the HERALD can do they have only to
command and il will be done most
checrfully.

A WRITER in the Morning News
suggests that the outrage of Sunday
night was gu argument against the
Lave which prevents the carrying OF
pistols--that had the young mau been
armed he could have defended HIM
self The HERALD would again urge
that such an idea of every man a
law unto himself, responsible for
his own protection, would turn the
country into paudemonium of law
lessness and insecurity. Would 1t
not have been better for The young
couple to have been al home, or Mt
least at some more scasonable place of
amusement than the park, at that late
hour OF night? The blame for this
aud similar lawless acts cannot be laid
on the pistol law, which does more, no
doubt, than any other TO decrease
crime. The State, county aud city
governmental systems are designed to
furnish police protection to the peo-
pie; taxes are paid presumably for
this prime purpose. In this particular
instance, blame, If there is any, does
not attach TO the laws or its officers.
